  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.

Howto disable the www alias option for a domain.

New Pleskian
Hi.

I need to disable the www option for an already created domain that I enabled the option when I created it.

I've searched everywhere for it but I can only see it when I create a new domain.

I need the main domain not to answer to www because I want to create a sub-domain with that name that responds differently.

Best Regards.
 
Hello,

Log in to Plesk, go Home> Domains > select domain(s) you wish to modify and click 'Modify'. There are WWW prefix item in the 'Preferences' area, and you can switch it on or off.

However, I doubt that this will disable www prefix for a domain it has already been assigned to. Please let me know if I am wrong.

Therefore, to kill it for sure, go Home > Domains > domain.name > DNS settings and remove CNAME record for www.domain.name.

After that, run

/usr/local/psa/admin/bin/websrvmng --reconfigure-vhost --vhost-name=domain.name

That should do.

Regards,

Denis.
 
I worked like a charm.

The part

"Log in to Plesk, go Home> Domains > select domain(s) you wish to modify and click 'Modify'. There are WWW prefix item in the 'Preferences' area, and you can switch it on or off."

Did it all.
